] It was one early morning.
"Y-Yes dad! There was no trouble, I found the college campus on my own, without anyone's help." A blonde girl awkwardly said on her cellphone.
"Can you forget your worrying, and can I find my classes now??? I should be asking, will you be okay with your only daughter on her own?"
He chuckled, over the phone.
He smoothly replied, 'Cool your head my daughter. Do not stress over your dad's lonesomeness. While his wife may be busy, I still have my doddering body! `ehaEhe-ea!-(Hanged up on)-"
*The wind softy blew by.
As she walked, she thought, /"Okay. Okay! I am not a American girl anymore, I am a Japanese student. You only get 1 chance to try again.. so... You better not make a fool of things, -me!/"
] After some rough classes, It was lunchtime now.
Figetedly, she thought, /"Lunchtime is a great chance to find the friends I want! There, a campus bench for me to sit, and amaze somebody with my lunch.
Am I the only student here, who likes sesame seasoning on their mikan rice balls?"/
*Sprinkle
*Sprinkle *Sprinkle
*Sprinkle
"Agh-aAa-cnew!! *Flash of light!*" A sneeze surprised her from behind!
Trembling, she asked, "Who are you! Ar-Are you_ Are you one of those stalkers I have been warned of?!? Were you just trying to take stalker photos of me?!?"
*The 'stalker girl' sneezed again.
"Could you hush it, please?!" The stalker girl playfully asked, as she checked her camera.
"I am -local college photographer/Journalist, and you're looking at Agnes here. Or Aggy, if you favor that!" She stated, over-eagerly.
The blonde girl replied, "Uh-urh..... You are Jap-Japanese? urh_ Me-do not speak good Japanese! Not understand Japanese!"
Confused, Agnes asked, "You're not kidding around, are you? (...) Mhmmm-Arh!"
With a breath, Agnes explained, "Watashi_ wa_ Agness! Watashi, Agnes."
"I think I get it... [Under breath] Well, at least I think so anyways..... " The blonde girl remarked.
"Me, Photographer! I am Shashin-ka/ jānarisuto!" She attempted explaining.
She replied, "Shash-Urm...? Shashin-Ja..... "
| After a bit of time.
"Sorry, I am sorry about this!" The blonde girl apologized. "I have to run now, or be late for my afternoon classes!"
Reaching out, Agnes yelled, "Ohhh- I never caught her name! -or a good photo of her yet..... "
| After the day's classes were over.
Drained, the blonde girl thought, /"Urwh... After a long first day with no real mistakes, I just have to move in my dorm... IF I can just find it."/
| Later~
*Opens door.
Smelling contently, she quietly expressed, "And at last, I have found my new roOM! Where my true living starts. (.....) Uh? Huh? Urm?
Did-ah? Did someone get something confused here? Cameras.. papers, and binders and satchels are everywhere?"
"It's you. -that mystery English girl!" A familiar voice named Agnes yelled. "*Looks back & forth.* An unexpected twist, I think we got here... "
"Wh- What was that, Agnes?" She replied.
To which, Agnes interestedly said, "Datta, Atarashī - rūmumeito!" [Translation]; We're new roomies.
(...)
"What did you say?" She cluelessly replied.
| Later, as they were both laying down.
The blonde girl said, "If you understand this, have a good night Agnes!"
With a spirited thumbs up, Agnes replied, "Mhm! Yeah, I understand the picture. *Yawns & takes off glasses.*
Aha! ----HOLD it right there!! *Thinks.* Nandesuka your_ name?"
Realizingly, she replied, "Oh, no! I never shared my name with you?! *Breathes in*
Watashi no namae_ is Bernadetta."
Agnes exclaimed, "And at last, I know what your name is! *Falls asleep!*"
*Bernadetta chuckled amusingly.
